2000 929rr

ill post up pics in the morning and keep this updated when progress is made

first things first, where is the lock for the trunk? i dont see it anywhere on or near the tail or maybe im missing it due to no light

Lock should be at the back under the tail light.

R1FLO · 10-17-2009, 9:41 AM

if you have an undertail on the bike .. it will be on there there .. and if there isnt a lock in place you might have to do it with your finger through the hole .

fighter's definatly the way to go*

and the most important part of any vehicle... is the cigarette lighter**

*IMO.... but others may disagree
**especialy if you intend to enter deathrace

After removing my tail to put race bodywork on I removed my trunk mechanism, and losing it in the ol' pile of parts somewhere, then deciding to make it a streetbike again I just made my own system for unlocking the back seat.

R1FLO · 10-17-2009, 1:14 PM

There should be a locking mechanism if your seat it being held down . Do you see a hole under your tail? If there is one put your finger and do it manually . Don't break your your tail lol

I haven't bothered with locking mine down at all.

To be honest it wasn't perfected so I still don't put anthing in there and try to open it as little as possible.

I still use mine and haven't had any need to latch it down.

there was only a latch under the tray..weird, but here are a few pictures that i forgot to post

SoliceDreamer · 10-31-2009, 7:57 PM

oops here are the pictures

SoliceDreamer · 11-03-2009, 11:22 PM

okay im a little over my head, i know only a little like electrical and connection stuff

but im gonna need to drop in an engine and i was thinking i may as well shell out a couple more hundred for a 954 engine, but i was told to get throttle bodies as well...because of the bottom of my stator cover *pics above*

so should i just do this trial and error

or take it to the shop down the street...kinda...and tell them to fix it and just run over everything on the bike?

only thing left on the bike to do now is drop in an engine and get some plastics, mirrors and screen and im good...

the speedo and headlights work, but tail doesnt and when turning on a blinker or low beam the speedo blinks on and off...thinking battery or connection?

and i tried to crank the bike before and it wouldnt do anything, i hit the button with the switch engaged and nothing happens...

any and all advice will be appreciated thanks

Have you checked the voltage at the battery?
Can you hear the fuel pump priming?

i charged the battery over night with my tender, and left it off charge for a week went back to check and it was full...granted i didnt check the voltage i figured it would be okay and good

but no i dont hear it priming, didnt know the 929 did that...remember i didnt have that nifty feature on my 250 and 900 lol

It may be fully charged but breaking down under load. You'll need to check how low it falls when you try starting the engine.
Yes, the fuel pump will whine inside the tank when you turn the bike on. If not then it's most likely one of the kill switches - ignition, kill, sidestand, clutch or bank angle sensor.

how are you so smart...i randomly scan the forums and you have answered every single post with a 98% success rate...

but im thinking it may have be my side stand sensor because it was down, i just pushed it once then came back inside...it was cold that day

Some people sink their time into watching or playing sports, some drink and some collect unusually shaped pretzels and that's what they focus on - I just love working on and riding bikes :-)
When I was younger I had a photographic memory so I never studied for exams, pages I'd read were just there in my memory when I needed to pull them up - not anymore though. Strangely, I also learned early on that there is no need to pack your memory with stuff, it's far more efficient and accurate to simply learn how and where to find the answers when you need them :-)
